Complaints
2020 GENESIS G70
ID: 2126351FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My 2020 Genesis G70 is affected by Recall 24V-528 (high-pressure fuel pump defect). About 10 months after the recall service was marked “completed,” my car began showing DTC P0088 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too High), which is directly tied to the recall defect. On 8/30/25 car was hesitating when just slowly pulling out of driveway, and check engine light came on and stayed on. The car jerks and vibrates when foot is on the gas. There is now a very strong gasoline odor inside and outside the car, which was also noticed by a Genesis dealership employee when I pulled into the service garage. This raises serious fire and safety concerns. The dealer has told me the fuel pump and fuel line must be replaced. While all parts should be covered, I am currently waiting to hear from the dealership in regards to if Genesis approves/agrees to cover the costs of the repairs needed to my car. I was forced to drive 1 hour and 40 minutes to the nearest Genesis dealership on 9/3 while the car was unsafe, with my child in the vehicle at times. This was extremely dangerous. I was also initially told I would have to either drive the unsafe vehicle back home while waiting for approval or pay for a rental myself. Only after I became very upset and crying, was I given a loaner. That loaner has a 100-mile per day limit, yet I live about 100 miles away from the dealership, making it impractical. This defect is ongoing and unresolved. Genesis has not yet confirmed coverage of all related parts, and I am concerned the recall repair was inadequate. Safety Concerns: Risk of fuel leak/fire from defective pump/fuel system. Strong fuel odor indicating vapor or liquid leak. Unsafe requirement to drive long distance while defect is present. Dealer attempting to deny full repair coverage under recall.
